Sahara Cafe & Mediterranean at 1121 South Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, Florida.

This place has been a favorite of mine for over 10 years. The quality of the food is great! You order at the counter and they will bring it out to your table, but calling in take-out is a great option here. There is typically a decent sized lunch rush, but in general, the wait times are reasonable. Along with the food, there is a moderate assortment of middle eastern grocery items such as spices, pita bread, and many things hard to find elsewhere.

My personal favorite is the Shwarma Pita, but I have enjoyed everything I have had there.
